Sweet and sour chips. Oh. My. Word…read more I could end my review of New Century right there. I really could. What more is there to say? Sweet 'n' sour chips is quite enough I reckon. But perhaps they deserve a bit more of an explanation... The day I found New Century was the day that I discovered sweet and sour chips, and the day my life was changed. Why hadn't anyone thought of it before?! Just before I go any further, I would like to establish that I'm referring to chips doused in sweet and sour sauce. Not a strange new variety of fries. Just in case you were wondering... Chips were *made* for sweet and sour sauce. They're like salt and pepper, thunder and lightning, Kim and Aggie... a match made in heaven. And it's the simplicity of such a dish that makes it all the more appealing. What is not to love? New Century also offers a vast array of Chinese dishes, with a few Thai ones thrown in for good measure. They even provide you free prawn crackers with takeaway orders of £10 or more. Oh, but those chips...

I'm sorry to say that this evening's takeaway was one of the most disgusting experiences I have had in a long time and I won't be back. Honey Chilli Chicken was just about edible, but the Kung Po Beef was soggy, all batter and no beef. The Salt and Chilli chicken was tasteless. I don't know what they did to the previously crisp and colourful fresh peppers and onion, but they were a sad shadow of their former selves. I would love to know where the original owners have gone. Does anyone know? Please help.

The girl that answered didn't seem too bothered at this I was asked did I order it from the "Yoyo App" (I think that's what the girl called it... a lot of background noise, so not too sure). I told her I ordered it from the Arnold's App... she said there is no Arnold's App & that I ordered it from the "Yoyo App" (never heard of it... seriously). Absolutely no humour here, but as everyone can clearly see in the screenshot from my phone... a picture is worth a thousand words!!! I used an App called Arnold's Belfast! ... or I need my eyes tested. I even provided a close-up! 3rd photo is of the black curly hair that commited the crime (seen in between the kebab & the salad) NEVER AGAIN!!!

They also good options for kids, although even if I had kids I would not take my kids there.....There are couple of happy days style booths for sitting in. If I where you I would just order and leave, you just cannot be too sure who has been sitting there before you!! But for a late night fix, and I mean late night. On a saturday night they stay open until 4am and at that time beggars can't be choosers. You'll be counting yourself lucky you found somewhere open at all. To sum in up, it will get you out of a rut if your stuck. But do not by any-means pin all of your hopes on Mr Arnold!!!

The Belmont Bethany is generally regarded as a safe bet for your fish and chip requirements, having…read morebuilt a name for itself over the many years it's been open. It's certainly a solid chippie, but that's about it really. I'm not a huge fan of fish and chips. Well, more so the fish aspect, but I don't often venture into these sorts of takeaways (give me a Chinese any day). Having said that, I know a good chip or two when I see one, and the Bethany's aren't half bad. Last time I popped in, I decided to be a tad adventurous and opt for a burger, which was pretty good. I certainly have no complaints in relation to the food. However, the staff are another thing altogether. I understand they're under pressure, but they were really quite rude and ill-mannered...no smiles to be had at all. I was asked several times what my order was, as the lady couldn't hear me, and the team just generally seemed quite irritable. I'll put it down to being overworked and busy, simply because the place was pretty hectic that evening. You could definitely do worse than The Belmont Bethany, but you could also do a bit better.

Although a little observation would be that customer service is mainly limited to 'whats yers love?". One does feel very loved in this shop due to the lady at the counter calling every one love!! I've been here a couple of times by accident because the kebab shop down the road was closed and I wasn't left disappointed. Its decently priced and is a 6 out of 10 in the chipper scale.

Old school to the core, this family establishment has them queued to the street every day. The man at the fryers, apparently local legend Bill, doesn't even look round to take your order, looking at you from a long mirror above him, greeting you with a simple 'What's yours?'. He says it to everyone regardless of the length of queue, but the man has the memory of an elephant, timing massive orders of chips, fish, pasties and suppers with the dexterity of a dancer. And the chips, ooooh the chips, hot and vinegary and wrapped in paper are so fine. You can even sit in if you are lucky enough to get a seat, but so long as you get your chips you are a winner.
